Hatari Lodge



Hatari Lodge, which includes what was once the private residence of actor and adventurer Hardy Krüger, is located on the northern edge of Arusha National Park. Framed by Mount Kilimanjaro and its volcanic counterpart, the 4,566 m high Mount Meru, the area around the lodge was used as the setting for "Hatari", the famous safari film. Since then the estate itself has been redesigned and modernised.

Rooms/Accommodation: The Hatari has 8 spacious rooms, each with their own fireplaces and large baths. The rooms have been furnished in the style of the '60s and '70s, and decorated with loving care. The Honeymoon Room lies off to the side of the Momella Marsh through a large panoramic window. Over 100 buffalo, giraffes, waterbuck, bushbuck and warthogs come to graze there daily. The bathroom also provides its own wonderful wildlife vista. The salon and dining room are situated in the oldest farmhouse. Here guests are treated to delicious meals prepared by Marlies Gabriel, who, with husband Jörg, leaseholds the lodge, while Jörg himself tells fireside tales of the estate's history and lavishes guests with the sort of inside tips that only someone who knows Tanzania from tip to toe can offer. The lodge also has a stylish bar, which can be used indoors or outdoors.


The breakfast terrace lays on a thrilling view of Mount Kilimanjaro. The glades of Momella, a marshland savannah, run from directly beneath the terrace and can be reached along a specially erected walkway. There is an observation platform from which guests can watch the animals that come to drink at the watering-holes. Guests can also enjoy a classic sundowner, with Kilimanjaro or Meru as the sublime backdrop. A 15-minute walk away is the Hippo Pool - a small lake in which hippopotami bathe.

Activities: Hatari offers its own airport transfers, animal-watching outings and guided hiking tours in Arusha National Park, as well as canoe rides on the Momella lakes. It is also the ideal base camp for mountain-climbers off to tackle either Kilimanjaro or Meru.
